    Default Wow - weather gives bonus!

    Don't you just love the snow?

    I have my own daughter off school and now will have a fab day with her and her friends. They will take my 3 little ones into the snow and I can watch with my coffee through the glass!

    6 others called in as mums are home and doing the school run today and once I have dropped off the remaining 2 I can hibernate.. yippeeeeee

    Anyone else staying in?

    Forgot to mention - yesterdays snow has frozen over and we have more coming - treacherous conditions

    Same here. My kids are old enough they want to go off and do their own things with their mates so I don't even have to go out.

    I should be doing my risk assessments, SEF etc, but still in pj's at the moment.

    I have dh, dd ans ds home all schools closed. One mindee who didnt come yesterday cause of the snow, dad walked her here this morning. one off mum a teacher and the school is close.

    The other one texted this morning to say not coming, didnt say why, but this was the one that arrived at 7.30am yesterday driving in the most awful conditions when m &d were home all day!!!!!!!!!

    So fun day, my 2 will go out with mindee and like you Debbie I can watch and take photos from the window coffee in hand!

    Still thick snow on the ground, very icy underneath. Lovely bright sunny day.

    One of my mindees who was not coming is now on his way as weather warming up and melting a bit.

    My 2 off school too, so hope they will help with him in garden while I watch and take photos !! That's if he brings his wellies.

    DH just called home and taken me to Waitrose, so fresh bread and fruit here which will be nice.

    I only have 1 mindee today all our schools closed so parents staying home i live on a hilly estate so they didn't want to try to come except my 2 year old who can be very hard work we went out in the snow didn't want to stay out made a snowy picture using salt and glitter on black card that lasted 2 mins
    He's now playing with the happyland he usually has a sleep in the afternoon so i can do some paperwork hopefully.

    Have a nice day everyone, weather your working or just playing with your own children i do wish i had more children today

    Oh I've loved playing in the snow with the mindees these last two days.

    Hoping it doesn't stay for much longer though, I'll be worn out!
